Synopsis

Yuu's new high school is kind of awful. He's failing his classes and striking out socially. Everything changes when he finds one of Spider-Man's costumes abandoned in an alleyway. At first, it's fun to put on the costume and play hero, but when powerful enemies appear, Yuu quickly realizes he's out of his element. Still, with the real Spider-Man nowhere to be found, the city needs someone to save it...

For me personally this is a 10/10. Realistically though, not so much. It's a sadly very short but great story about a looser who is only good at rock climbing who finds Spider-Man's suit in an alley and he now is stuck with the consequences that come with wearing that costume even though he has no powers. The characters are decently written considering how shortlived the series was and it just shows while reading that this was not supposed to be it. Sadly though it's all we got. I saw people calling this story a Spider-Verse ripoff but I couldn't disagree more. The message in ...

Mixed Feelings
As a fan of Spider-man and manga/anime in general, the very short run that this series got was very disappointing, as it feels like it never really got the chance it deserved and was really cancelled just as it was getting started.
The art is great, and the new characters, while somewhat plain, had the potential to develop much more down the line. The first (and only) volume was a pretty standard origin story, and it's a damn shame that it'll never go past this. Had the series continued, I imagine it could have been something much bigger and better, but as it stands with ...
